Heritage attractions around Yass
Stroll past many fine heritage buildings on the walking trails through Yass and Gundaroo, and you'll get a taste of 19th century life in rural Australia.
Today, you can go for a hike along the Hume and Hovell Walking Track,a 440-km track starting at Yass and leading south past Wee Jasper towards Albury. One of Australia's greatest explorers, Hamilton Hume, lived in Yass between 1839 and 1873. You can learn about his life and achievements at Cooma Cottage, originally his home but now a National Trust museum that's well worth a visit.
Wander through the charming the old station building at Yass Railway Heritage Centre to see rolling stock that rumbled down the branch line many years ago.
Yass was recognised early on for its sheep-shearing potential and today you can buy beautiful merino wool knitwear at the Sheeps Back Gallery. Visit the Binalong Motor Museum, north-west of Yass, to admire its collection on classic cars.
